I got an email from obesity help the other day wishing me happy bandiversary. Wow, I can't believe I forgot and Wow, it's been 2 years. Last year I was so obsessed with hitting a certain goal by my 1 year anniversary that June 5th was etched in my head.
I guess it's good I forgot, it means I'm living my life. On the other hand, I have been really down and struggling about why I can't mentally get past whatever it is that's stopping me from hitting goal. I kind of think I need to focus on these last pounds more intensely than the first.
I'm not going to focus on what I haven't accomplished, but what I have in the last two years:
I've lost 111 pounds!!
I wear skirts and non-Mom bathing suits in public now
I've met tons of new friends (you all)
I've gained self worth and confidence
I can shop anywhere now
I can walk and run in public without being embarrassed
So many other things...
Last but not least we had Cate's ballet recital a few weeks ago and I can never resist a good collage. 2009's was a week before surgery.
